Complete renovation of Bryant Hall into a state-of-the-art academic center to serve Intercollegiate Athletics and the College of Engineering. Built in 1961 to house the football players, Bryant Hall incorporated a three-story residence hall with a cafeteria and a two-story annex for academics and recreation. The new facility, which totals 55,000 S.F. of space, will include an auditorium, two large multi-media classrooms, a computer lab, four group study labs and thirty individual study rooms for one-on-one tutoring. The academic administration will be housed here in ten executive offices and a new multi-story lobby containing displays honoring the academic All-American and All-SEC scholars who have attended the university. All trades were incorporated into this renovation/restoration including all mechanical and electrical systems with fire alarms and ADA code requirements.
